I don't get the similarity to covid?


Movie - nobody will listen to experts. President not taking it seriously.

Reality - people listen too much to experts. Governments have locked down their economies and forced experimental, ineffective and dangerous vaccines.

So how does this movie have parallels to covid?

reply

It's not about Covid. It is meant as a metaphor for climate change.

reply

Governments being fishy about the science they follow. Governments and corporations being more interested in making money than in solving problems and using "science" in a way to fool people.

Some scientists warning about the dangers of using experimental vaccines and the government and media covering that up.

Perhaps your version of "Reality" isn't what you think it is. You want people to stop listening to experts? Please, don't drag others down with you. You didn't 'get' the similarities for the same reasons that you don't get how this movie reflects parallels to COVID

^^^^^^^
This. ^

Meaning that if you got even that wrong, your other assessments of current events are nowhere near accurate either.

It was not supposed to be about covid.

But there can be similarities with covid. Like the government pushing unverified science (or let's say that some disagree with) so the corporations can make a quick buck from a bad situation.

And the polarization around covid.

I have a word...no I won't be mean.

It’s called Hollywood self owning itself. What they thought everyone would recognize as a metaphor for climate change is a much more obvious metaphor for the Covid plandemic.

Do you really think idiots like Hollywood actors would have a clue they just owned themselves? They’re high school dropouts and waiters who won the Hollywood lottery, nothing more. They possess the intelligence of a small pebble.

Hahaha, omg that's awesome. The Climate Change = Asteroid/Comet is stupid because that would be an instant impact ELE. Climate Change takes centuries/millennia/millions of years to equal an ELE such as a comet or meteor...dear lord.

The problem here is that Hollywood is too busy fucking children and covering it up to the point they can't think straight and arrange a cohesive/coherent plot narrative.

Climate change normally takes millions of years. However in just the last 200 years we have changed the climate more than it would change in a million years at any point in earths history except one - the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.

Actually, leftists have convinced themselves that this is a "climate change" movie because they are into it and this is their current trendy theme to go crazy about.
But in fact, this is a film about a comet that flies to earth and stu pid people who do not take it seriously. There is no other meaning behind it.

reply

Plus, no amount of their alarmism will stop a fucking comet lol.

reply

The writers said this was about climate change and the script was written before covid. But yes, you can read other meanings into it.
